Abstract
Recently Ignatiev and Kuzmin (1988) developed a theoretical model to implement small violations of the Pauli principle. The authors remark that the Pauli principle is unique among discrete symmetries, and that in consequence any apparent violation actually signals new physical degrees of freedom, with no violation of the Pauli principle. They construct an algebraic model which incorporates the algebra of Ignatiev and Kuzmin and leads to the same apparent violations, yet preserves the Pauli principle. Their algebra is that of a Jordan pair, an algebraic concept which provides a natural framework for structures that do not assume bilinear commutation relations.Keywords
